Trance – Movie review

Viju Prasad (Fahadh Faasil) is a struggling man, desperate to achieve as a motivational speaker. He comes from a troubled childhood, mother who committed suicide and a younger brother raised in depression. But Viju is confident that he can achieve as motivational speaker and tries his best, when his brother too fails him. Loosing everyone close to him, he shifts to Mumbai searching for a new life, where he spotted by a large corporate group who makes him a face of religious foundation. Viju is made as a miracle worker and becomes famous. But things get out of hand when Viju is transformed a larger than life entity and loses control of himself. What happens next is the rest of the story.

Though the director has taken a very sensitive subject, he has managed to blend emotions and humor into the story which works. Fahadh Faasil takes control of the whole film, he literally becomes VIju Prasad and steals the show completely. Other notable performances come from Sreentah Bhasi and Soubin Shair . Goutham menon too performs well, though looks very rigid at times. The only weak performance is that of Nazriya Nazim whose character was deliberately induced in the film, which just dragged the film which tested the audience patience. The story also was slow in the second half and lacked tempo. Trance gets 5/10
